Fixing building violations in Miami

[Nat C.]

I found a duplex in Miami that I really, really like.

There are various code violations on the property. To me they don't look like major violations although I have no experience in this matter.

Generally I've shied away from buying anything with violations as I have no experience in the area. I am very keen to buy this current property however I am overseas for a few months now and was wondering how things would go.

I've found a few companies that you can pay to fix everything for you as a 'one stop shop'. Does anyone have any experience with such companies?

If anyone has any recommendations or advice, I would really appreciate it.

First rule of REI is don't get emotionally attached to a deal. Fail.

Second, know your market. Fail.

Third, have a team in place that you know and trust or can closely supervise. Fail.

I just made these up but I can tell you are headed for a potential disaster if you're not very careful. I don't predict a positive outcome and I see many ways for you to lose money, get taken advantage of, etc.
